As of July 1, 2012, the Putnam County Clerk’s Office is accepting electronic filings for Circuit Civil, Family (Domestic Relations), Probate, County Civil and Juvenile Dependency cases. Those wishing to electronically file court records can do so by using Florida’s eFiling Portal at www.myflcourtaccess.com. All users are required to register and use an assigned user name and password.

Any attorney, party, or other person who files a document by electronic transmission with the Putnam County Clerk of Court shall immediately thereafter file the identical document in paper form with an original signature of the attorney, party, or other person if a signature is otherwise required by the Rules of Judicial Administration (hereinafter referred to as the follow-up filing). The follow-up filing of any document that has been previously filed by electronic transmission will be discontinued once the Putnam County Clerk of Court and chief judge certify to the Florida Courts Technology Commission that the electronic filing system is efficient, reliable, and meets the demands of all parties and this Commission has authorized the elimination of the follow-up filing.

UPDATE: Filers are no longer required to submit the originals of E-Filed documents filed through the E-Portal as of February 5, 2013. Original documents such as death certificates etc., or those that contain original signatures such as affidavits, deeds, mortgages and wills must be e-Filed but the original must also be submitted until the court has determined the digital format by which these issues are addressed.
